Vote for the items you'd like to see in your kingdom. You can vote for multiple items but you can only vote once.

Is there an item/building or decoration missing? Add your suggestion here. It might be included in the next poll in two weeks time. Please give me plenty of these suggestions so I've got lots of options to choose from for the next poll.

Just a reminder to think of upcoming holidays etc.

If you've got a gameplay suggestion you can also add it here. Please note that these will not be included in a poll. They will be passed along.

There have been lots of great gameplay suggestions. Pretty please can you make sure to include suggestions for items, decorations etc as well.

You can also add your opinion in the thread (http://forums.teamlava.com/showthread.php?39218-Can-only-send-3-different-gifts-per-day&p=446227&viewfull=1#post446227) requesting more gift options or this one (http://forums.teamlava.com/showthread.php?39358-Missing-Gem-anyone&p=447855&viewfull=1#post447855) on gem confirmations.

Just an explanation on Yggdrasil, it's a tree from Norse mythology. It connects different realms together and has animals like dragons, eagles and stags.

I prefer to keep castle story simple. Dragons seems out of place.
Ya I know alicorn is weird too but nothing much I can say.

I want to see more nice buildings instead of decorations since I keep most of the decorations.

An arena for gladiators will be nice.
Training grounds, barrack and stuffs that's make knights useful.
I want thurston to be more useful like fighting other kingdoms etc

In terms of education, arts and culture, I think it is already enough with libraries, observatory, amphitheater etc

Ivy needs more associated buildings also. Treehouse, greenhouse, treants etc.

And more walls please. I reach 100 already but my royal area is still growing.

olcastle
04-19-13, 09:42 PM
Yeah, at least don't count storaged walls (and buildings!).
There are 4 different kinds of wall already.
Let us change decorations without selling anything.

Glad to see the shipping port or at least some form of connection to that ocean nearby is on the list! Yggdrasil is an interesting idea. I had been thinking that some kind of large Tree of Life would be an interesting landmark and source of renewable resources. Perhaps Yggdrasil would be equally interesting!

Having access to the ocean could open up access to a whole list of goodies such a pearls, spices from merchant ships, and I think we would all like more mermaid scales!

- it would be nice if we got gems every so many times collecting a building or animal.
- also getting more max energy (like it used to be) when reached higher level(s) would be welcome.
- the unicorn is okay, but once a week is not very much.
- also counting levels above 30, on which i am for several monts (not the only one whi wants to go higher)
- cant we get more plots? the amount just is not enough anymore when you get higher

• Dock of some kind and/or water.
• Need something more fun/challenging for level points. Fishing in a pond is boring. Gladiator/joust arena. Horse movement can't be that difficult.

Grammar note above: "Just a reminder that to think of upcoming holidays etc." The word "that" does not belong.

I just read the part of the Alicorn quest today where Ivy describes Alicorn as a serene animal. I never would have guessed that!!! So I. Think there should be a quest where we help here get back to that calm state. Her excessive jumping around is too much like Dragon Story (one of the things I hated about that game was so much movement!! I have chronic migraines which didn't like that. ) maybe it could be an adventure to help use the energy. Or ivy could make her a calming tea. Or ...?

Think Yggdrasil would get more if peeps knew what it was before they voted. Wording is same as before, only noticed by chance & had not voted as not much stood out as castle stuff. Decorations that do nothing like pumpkins as a waste of space to me. At least click ono. To get something?
Nice to be asked.
Think waterfall & dragon came up last time :)
Horse?
Secret tunnel? Come out up those steps? Adventure to go down.
Snake, to ****.
Fire that will stop bad things comming within a area, near crops when collecting.
A gate house or drawbridge?
Thanks

I agree on max energy increasing with level. I don't think I'll ever get an alicorn, I've been doing adventures for weeks and no sign of the two things I need. It would be nice to be able to trade things with other players, like if I have excess carrots and need strawberries.

I have thought of a special chicken, different colored one, that drops more roasted chicken than the normal ones. We have different colored cows, pigs and sheep but beside from the pink valentine chicken we have no special chickens... Its not much programming either, changing color and changing drop rate for special items.

Regular round bushes aren't part of wall count. Wall, small towers, and arches count. If you mean wall pieces made out of bush then they count. Still a wall, just prettier.

I would like the see the number of inventory i have when i craft that item in the craft building. I play on 3 devices, it hard to remember the inventory in each game, i have to check my inventory every time i craft adventure items like long sword, lumin essen, ect..... Or maybe the queen or king's court can be able to go in to the list of adventures page during an adventure so i can check which item it is lack of for the next adventures. It will be great if the royal exchange building also has this feature.

Yes I'm aware of that. I've been playing since almost the beginning and have the game pretty well figured out lol. Many of us use the bushes as decoration and the walls as, well walls. My request is it to up the level of walls we can have or stop counting the bush walls in out max count. Whichever is easier for the developers.

I'm happy with whatever TL decides as long as it is with the "castle" theme. If anything I'd prefer to see more items that are interactive instead of just decor items that I end up leaving in storage or never purchasing. Yggdrasil sounds like it could be a new ivy story line...maybe a tie in with this new sister of hers.

SpuriousNotion
04-21-13, 07:49 AM
I would like to weigh in on the subject of decorations. I have been to plenty of kingdoms where every space was filled with something "useful". Just as I have been to some where there is a lot of open space and decorations lovingly are put into the design. When visiting somewhere, I definitely prefer to look at someone's creative design. Would I like to see a pumpkin hutch drop pumpkins and campfires drop smores perhaps? Sure! But I am okay with them as is and since they don't have to have anything coded into them to do anything but look nice, I suspect they don't take up much time to create. I like that this game is willing to provide for the people with different preferences!

I wondered if it might be possible to have it so that with a maximized social rating, 4 hearts, that there might be some benefit such as a small percentage chance increase in experience, gold, energy, or resource gathering activities. Perhaps this would have encouraged me to not be the social recluse I was until something like level 20! Maybe a few more people would keep playing once they found the joy of interacting with people around the world!

At the Royal Exchange, I would like to exchange decorations for more useful items or even the chance to get Alicorn parts. All horns ands wings have been completely elusive for my knights coming back from their daily adventures. Yet, I have 4 beast statues and now 3 campfires that I'm sure another kingdom would like in trade.

I want to paint my castle. The green of the dome on the WS would be perfect...
Besides the fact that the court doesn't really coordinate with the chateau or manor (WHY didn't I get the keep?), I think it'd be fun to individualize our kingdoms even more.
What about an artist who's been subjugated by the Baron and needs a place to stay? And to show his gratitude he offers up his services to beautify the kingdom?

lotuskat
04-22-13, 06:57 AM
I love these suggestions! I also hope that we get an increase in the energy cap, much like they did with City Metro. I expect future expansions to require permits and for other enhancements to cost trade tickets, so that means there's a greater need for harvesting crops, tending to cows and chickens, fishing, etc., so we can conduct trades at the Exchange. I also need more energy to face off the critters that pop up because I'm harvesting more. The Wizards School is an awesome enhancement! But an increased energy cap would allow me to stock up on resources, craft items (actually make use of the Tinkers!), and collect coins.

elaur
04-22-13, 05:59 PM
1. Want to put away trees and choppable items. If there is a concern about the bug just let us put away items that have no chops taken out.

2. Drop Ivy's hot sauce from the food exchange in the royal exchange.

3. All bacon goes toward energy at royal exchange. Please give us something to do with truffles and prime cut that doesn't overlap the royal exchange.

4. A place to summon beasts to fight them without waiting to stumble upon them.

Fix the Inventory so there are items shown under "Consumable" and "Special". These categories have always been empty, which doesn't seem right.

I hate waiting three minutes for one measly energy. This is particularly frustrating if I'm clearing crops or clicking on mushrooms or whatever and on the last click I get a beast...Aaaaarrrrgh!!! Then I have to wait forever to defeat them and it's just irritating.

My suggestion is to make each energy refill every 1 or at most 2 minutes and raise the final cap to 100. This would be make the most sense to gradually increase as you level up. Maybe 30 up to level 10, 40 for level 11-15, 50 for level 16-20, 60 for level 21-25, 70 for level 26, 80 for level 27, 90 for level 28, and 100 for level 29+!!! I have such a huge kingdom and just maintaining it means I have to go do stuff outside the game for hours just to earn enough energy. Don't get me wrong, the royal exchange definitely helped, but when it take dozens or even hundreds of energy to eventually earn 10 or 15...well eventually you have to wonder why bother. It's really only useful to get rid of items you have in excess.

This always happens to me right as I am using up my final energy before bed. Oftentimes I am too tired to wait up for the energy needed to fight, and feel bad for leaving the beast in my kingdom overnight for when visitors from other time zones come around.

The lack of energy is becoming ridiculous. Once you get to a level past 10, having only 30 energy is absurd. Your only options for additional energy is insanely expensive. Either you're wasting ALL your energy in farming to "trade" for it, or you have to spend real money in order to increase play time. Why are you being so stingy with the energy, TeamLava? Quit being ridiculous and increase how much energy we can store. Thirty is not enough and I speak for everyone. I already have a game going at level 26 and I can't even collect from half the board before I'm out of play time. Isn't the point of these games to hold people's interests? I'm getting bored.

Looks great! I think that may be what was meant by the water tiles suggestion in the poll. I agree, it's why I don't have ponds at all because one is okay but multiple individual ponds look ugly to me! I would love to have larger ponds or lakes or even streams. If we had streams it would make the bridge idea I suggested in the last poll even more useful and interesting!

4) Confirm/ Cancel prompt on use of gems- I have accidently lost so many
5) Somewhere to dump excess water
6) Reverse of current Alchemy, ie ability to convert Love things and animals to Ordinary at SAME exchange rate- 1 Valentine = 2 Ordinary

Really I want the shipping port because I want to get to the cliff and see the ocean. But it could be a great way to send commodities to friends... One minute per item (so 5 minutes for 5 strawberries, but an hour and a half for 90), once per person per day, up to three people per day (like the gifting limit). Could be cool.

I'm guessing this has been mentioned before, but I think the game is incredibly weighted towards those with 40 energy limit, not 30, and think there should be an earned energy increase to 40 at some point in the game. With the new update, plus the exchange and adventures, it's impossible to keep up with the level of supplies now needed to expand, and without expansion, players will lose interest. This morning when I woke up, even with all the extra energy from an adventure and the wizard school, I still did not have the energy to collect enough crops to set my next adventure, as well as set the exchange, try to find a spell book, and finish at least one goal. 30 energy simply doesn't cater for the higher level demands now.

Completely agree. Struggle all the time because of the luck of energy it's boring and frustrating. Hope they rethink energy balance as they have done in city story metro a week ago. Now playing city metro is fun again. No more frustration. Please do the same with castle.

I really, really would like to have the water tiles, to build a pretty little stream or brook running through my kingdom. The ability to have a small lake instead of many unconnected ponds would be wonderful too.

I would still have a couple ponds and a few wells, but it would be nice to have more visual variety in my kingdom's water features, instead of 5 identical ponds and 6 wells. I'm running out of ways to sneak ponds and wells in without looking repetitive. :)

Without wishing to spoil the story quest for anybody I am really annoyed to have to craft NEW ornate block, beam and magic cement.

What would make this game more enjoyable and less frustrating, would be to lift the limit on gifts. It takes so long to proceed with one upgrade and then its another up hill battle to advance an inch! I am on the fence about just erasing it because I keep running out of supplies or don't have enough money to buy the supplies I need. It's suppose to be fun and enjoyable like the other team games. Not saying this one isn't when the obstacles do not seem so insurmountable.

I would like to have a Valentine trade in the Love Shack, where you could trade things like chocolate truffles, milk chocolate etc. in exchange for some more valentine's items or gems or golden items. Basically rare drops.

I would like to weigh in on the subject of decorations. I have been to plenty of kingdoms where every space was filled with something "useful". Just as I have been to some where there is a lot of open space and decorations lovingly are put into the design. When visiting somewhere, I definitely prefer to look at someone's creative design. Would I like to see a pumpkin hutch drop pumpkins and campfires drop smores perhaps? Sure! But I am okay with them as is and since they don't have to have anything coded into them to do anything but look nice, I suspect they don't take up much time to create. I like that this game is willing to provide for the people with different preferences!

I wondered if it might be possible to have it so that with a maximized social rating, 4 hearts, that there might be some benefit such as a small percentage chance increase in experience, gold, energy, or resource gathering activities. Perhaps this would have encouraged me to not be the social recluse I was until something like level 20! Maybe a few more people would keep playing once they found the joy of interacting with people around the world!

I'm the opposite of you. I hate putting decor in my kingdom that don't drop anything, especially the big ones like the Romantic Fountain, unless they force me to do it in quests. Once I complete them, though, I store all of it. OK, I like to surround my kingdom in walls, but at least they give me Royal Points, which is something useful.

I want a mermaid pond with a mermaid character where I can dump excess water from the regular ponds because she keeps splashing it out to trade for fish and mermaid scales.

I second this one!! I always have too much water and not enough fish. Great idea!!!

Hello TeamLava,

I was just wondering if you could develop some walls and mini towers that match the Queen's castle. The white walls, mini towers and stone walls are fine, but they exactly match the King's castle and not the Queen's. The white look a bit strange since the Queen's castle is more of an off-white to pinkish color and there is no stone associated with the Queen's castle like there is the King's.

I know this is more of my OCD trying to make everything match, but I thought I'd ask :-)

THIS is exactly why I chose the King's castle. I actually prefer the Queen's but realized nothing really matched so went with the King's. Can't have a mismatched kingdom!

I want to throw pies at the Baron. I want to hold him down and make him eat Ivy's Skunkupie. I already know that if we get a seaport for trading, then he will show up and insist on collecting taxes. My knights want to go on a raid to his house.

Maybe we can upgrade the knights so they stop breaking/losing 5 longswords every time they go fight bandits! It's rather embarassing...maybe Thurston can train them?

And additional ways to use up the various flower petals I've collected would be nice too!

How true, it hadn't occurred to me. Any soldier who treated weapons so shabbily would be dishonorably discharged. There really is no excuse for it. Skunkupie and the stocks for the lot of them!

It would be awesome if we could ask for help with glimmerdust for Ivy's hut. I just can't seem collect much of it on my own or from gifts. I read that you used to be able to ask for help with it, please bring this feature back. Also it would be great if we could have an increase in how many gifts we send and receive. 10 would be a good amount.

I would like to request walls and mini towers that match the Queen's castle. The current ones (white stone and rocks) both match the King's. It may be a bit OCD of me, but those aren't really the same color as the Queen's castle and I would love some that match hers.

It would also be cool if we could get decorative walls that didn't give you RPs so we won't be limited by how many walls we can put up. I'd like to encircle my town and castle but maxed out!

I meant realistically doable not with probability more than 0 :)))).
I don't have 4th shard or gems for skipping so Sabina's goal is not realistic for me.

I have 3 goals:
Alicorn - for 3 months.
Scissors - ...I suspect it will even more crazy...
The cooking caravan - for 4 months at least.

Good choice of decor. Hey, maybe there could be an update based on fantasy, and then you meet Snow white, Cinderella, Tinkerbell or whatever and then there's loads of new decor and there's this fairytale palace where the questline ends. It would be interesting, since Castle story has a 'magical' atmosphere in general.

Horses could give Horsehair (to craft Leather along with Hides), Horse droppings, Horsefeet (to craft horseshoes) and Free Rides to craft Horse trade in the Royal Exchange. Dogs could give Bones, Paws, Claws and Dog Fur to craft Leather as well. All these could be used to craft a 'Dog Trade', which could be an upgrade of the Troll hunter trade, or Horse trade in the Royal Exchange.

I guess if I pictured ivy with a cat it would be a real mean scruffy looking one that she thought was adorable and cute. I think it would go around scaring Thurston as it wasn't happy with the attention she was paying him.
